Lie Letra

we knew we would never separate
and when there were hard times we helped,
consulted and consoled each other
and even if we didn‘t meet for a while
when we came together again
we understood at once what the other meant

and it's a lie that I don't need
your company anymore
but I will not bleed,
even though it hurts
and I mustn't weep,
or try to hold you back
it's your decision,
if you really want to go
get away right now
if I could decide which heart to love
I swear; it would be yours

This time you're here to tell me
you‘re in love- that's nothing new
I could consult you, like I always did before
but this time it's something else:
it hurts you to stay with me, and I don‚t want to lose you
nor do I want you to love me, because I don‘t love you like that
and if it hurts you, you‘re right to go
it hurts me too, but you don't have to know
